WelcomeThe

develop the skills necessary to be successful in the areas of academic,
personal-social, and career development.

The counseling program at VCIS consists of classroom guidance lessons as well as individual and small group counseling.

Classroom lessons support our VCIS Core Values based on our motto "Be The Change, Making a Difference Beyond You!" Classroom lessons take place every other week in each homeroom.

Referrals can be made by students, staff, and parents.Listed are a few groups that may be offered:·My Changing Family (children of divorce/separation)·Chillin’ Out (anger management/impulse control)·Grief Group·Social Skills

My name is Nicole Burdette. I am a Valley Center native, graduating from VCHS in 1998. I earned my BA
at Wichita State in 2005 and my MS in School Counseling at Emporia State University in 2012.

My
husband, Jason, works Cessna Aircraft and together we have three
children, Katelyn- 8, Alayna-5, and Jackson-4. In my very limited
amount of free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, scrapbooking,
and photography.

What's Happening?

The
VCIS Student Council provides opportunities for students to practice
citizenship and demonstrate positive leadership. STUCO is made up of one
classroom representative and one alternate from each homeroom. Meetings
are held twice a month on Thursdays before school.
